First use of this kernel tree is slated for Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.04), and will stay synced with the just released 2.6.14(.y). There are several reasons for making this repo available on kernel.org. Primary reasons include a more open development model, better visibility with the kernel developer community, and to make the kernel available to other distro's who may want to base their kernel off of ours. Primary goals include: * A kernel geared toward a real world Linux distribution, supporting drivers and subsystems that end users need. You will find a lot of external drivers in our tree, that for whatever reason, are not included in the upstream kernel. We hope that including these drivers will give users a one-stop kernel (no downloading and compiling external modules), and also provide much needed testing for modules hoping to be included into the mainstream kernel. * Real world configurations. We will provide default kernel configs for a variety of architectures and system "flavors". * Any feature and/or driver included will attempt to be configurable. That is, if you don't select to compile it, it will not cause any significant changes from the stock kernel we are using at that point. * Open development model. We want to be as close to the kernel community as possible. Integrating ideas, getting feedback, and causing as little havoc as possible :) -- Ubuntu - http://www.ubuntu.com/ Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ SwissDisk - http://www.swissdisk.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
